I know that you will all find this amusing but be warned!!!!! I was coming down our stairs with a tray on which were our morning coffee cups when I felt a sneeze about to arrive. Now because 1. i was on the stairs and 2. I had the tray full of breakables I tensed up when I sneezed. By the time I got to the bottom I could barely hold the tray with my right hand and had a pain in the shoulder like I have never had before. I thought I had perhaps just slightly pulled a muscle but following a visit to the doc's and a scan they found I have a herniated disc at C7 and it is going to need an operation as still a couple of months later ( after having twice had a 4 inch needle stuck in my neck to inject cortisone ) I have little sensation in my right arm. So BE WARNED loosen up when you sneeze.

My golf coach in high school got laid up twice from sneezing in the shower. Last I saw him (30 years after high school) we went out and played a round and his back went out 6 holes in. A bad back is a horrible thing to deal with - I know. I hope you're able to get things straightened out.
